Why we're gonna be alright even if we lose the House.

Why we're gonna be alright even if we lose the House. | Democrats have defended the U.S. Senate. The race for the U.S. House hasn't been called yet. Democrats seem likely to lose the chamber, narrowly. So? The Senate is far more important. It's where confirmations of Presidential appointees happen, and over the past 2 years, we've seen that the Senate is where congressional policy is actually made, as House Democratic bill after bill has been sent to the Senate floor to die. The U.S. House, on the other hand, is a house of flippin' monkeys. Morons like Lauren Boebert and MTG aside, I mean that literally. The U.S. House flips, all the time. Every single seat in the House is up for re-election every 2 years, and control of the lower chamber of Congress changes quickly with the political winds, just like the Founders intended. It's likely that a tiny Republican U.S. House majority (divided deeply between MAGA and more pragmatic Republicans) will tear itself apart trying to elect a Speaker, and on controversial questions like whether to impeach Biden, let alone getting anything else done. Partial Republican control of Congress will also put Republicans partly on the hook for anything bad that might happen over the next 2 years, and may damage GOP chances in 2024 since they won't be able to run as total outsiders. | image tagged in lauren boebert marjorie taylor greene,house of representatives,congress,republicans,midterms,2022 | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Trump validated his supporters' resentment. No one else can beat him by "going higher" - only by going even lower.

Trump validated his supporters' resentment. No one else can beat him by "going higher" - only by going even lower. | In the wake of the GOP's disastrous 2022 midterm performance, the Rupert Murdoch-led Republican media establishment is going to try, once again, to make anyone-but-Trump a thing. As sensible as it would be for Republicans to rally around a Trump-lite figure like Ron DeSantis, who carries way less baggage and who led Republicans to a crushing victory in Florida, I'm calling it right now. It ain't gonna happen. It's been established over and over again that the MAGA base is impervious to new facts. Drawing his supporters deeper and deeper over scandal after scandal, Trump has forged an emotional bond with the MAGA movement that is irreplaceable. The insults, the lies, the denialism, the excuses, the bigotry, the rage, the grifting, the indifference to human life, the win-at-all-costs mentality: It's not incidental to support for Trump. It's the whole point. And no one can deliver more of that than the man himself. | image tagged in trump supporters maga cultists,donald trump maga rally,ultra maga,ron desantis,trump supporters,maga | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Trump didn’t win the popular vote in 2016. He didn’t win re-election in 2020. But when you’re a star, they let you do it.
